Another tidbit of news is that John Mueller of Google, one of the hardest working people at Google, is taking a much deserved vacation. He announced his vacation at Google Groups on July 4th, saying he will be off until July 21st. Here is his message:

Hi everyone & happy 4th of July for those celebrating!

It's that time of year again, the kids are all fidgety and can't wait to get away from it all. I'll be off on vacation until July 21, when I hope to be back with fully charged batteries (thanks to solar energy :-))!

Lots of Googlers are still watching over the groups, and I'm glad that we have so many people regularly active here (thanks, everyone!!) that I know things will run smoothly.

See you all again soon!

John, enjoy the much deserved time off, we will miss you and come back soon!
